HI GUYS,

does anyone have any idea how long it takes for review after 5th Dec ? Also, need advice on the review procedure. I had problems with one of my salary slips and bank statement as they were not matching. Can I inform HO to exempt this salary slip and calculate earning for the remaining months as it will meet my requirements. Will they consider this in the review ?

Regards

application processing time

Post by AussieDude » Tue Jan 09, 2007 10:25 am

29 Dec - Application Received
1 Jan - money taken out of my credit card
5 Jan - Reference number given to me (after I called them)

Called up Monday and today - they said it still hadn't been given to a case worker. Perhaps, wait another week and ring back to see where it stands.

They must be busy over there at the Home Office and have a backlog from Xmas/New Years period.

Oh well, just have to keep waiting i suppose.

Notary Copy

Post by ashishtalreja » Tue Jan 09, 2007 11:39 am

Hi,

I have submitted Notarised copy of personal details page of passport as proof of Age. I had got the notarization done from local notary in Mumbai. Is it required to get notary done from authorities like embassy etc?

Please suggest.

Thanks in anticipation!

Hi rbg001

My ref. number is 2029XX

How about you? Have you heard back from anyone?

I imagine mine will be processed in the next 10 or so days...hard to tell though. What can any of us do! Just wait and hope for the best.

when posting your timelines - can you state whether it was Initial HSMP (in/out country) or FLR(HSMP) you are applying for...otherwise time comparisons mean nothing...

Hello blueteam

This is In Country Initial Application.

I Received my Application Reference No by Email today.

May be my Payment by CC so I get my reference early

You are paying by Postal Order so It will take some time to get your reference no.

Cheers

Postal Orders are the quickest form of payment (same day) CC (1day) personal Cheques (5days)

Hi Jenwaller

In my case, the credit card took 3 working days to clear the payment, probably because of the X'mas backlog.
